Reply To: Testing voltage to the points on the Sportfour Imperial

[Buccaneer]

I seen a video earlier regarding cars, that said to measure the ignition voltage
(with the engine off) with the volt meter hooked up to the coil “Bat” side,
and have the other side of the coil grounded.
That would tell you how much the ignition resistor is dropping down
the voltage, but I presume one would only want to do that test
for an instant or risk blowing the coil?
